Biogas project, BAJ Terbanggi

Audit Analysis

A small CDM biogas project in Indonesia with a standard investment-test additionality assessment and a minor, corrected material finding, but significant gaps in permanence protection (no buffer pool), weak leakage justification (0% deemed negligible), and a notable contradiction in claimed ERR figures between the PDD and an unidentified source. No monitoring or verification data is available in the extracted record, limiting confidence in actual delivery.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No buffer pool or permanence mechanism identified for a biogas project where system failure would resume methane emissions
• ⚠Contradiction in total ERR: PDD states 70,296 tCO2e while an unidentified source reports 492,072 tCO2e — a 7× discrepancy with no resolution
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% justified only as 'deemed negligible' in the PDD, while another source references a 'quantified' treatment — inconsistent treatment of a material risk for biogas
• ⚠No monitoring reports or verification reports available in the extracted record; actual delivery cannot be confirmed
